Hyman generated a goal and an assist in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Hyman jumpstarted the comeback for Edmonton by scoring his 11th goal of the season at 11:17 of the second period, and he set up Connor McDavid's game-tying goal in the final frame. Hyman added two shots, three hits, one takeaway and a plus-2 rating to round out an impactful fantasy performance. The right-shot winger seems to have found his game lately -- he's scored in four straight contests and produced eight goals and an assist through seven outings in December. Hyman had just three goals through the first two months of 2024-25, so his early-season struggles appear to be in the rearview. The 32-year-old has accounted for 11 goals (three game-winners), 17 points and a plus-7 rating through 27 appearances.

Hyman scored two goals on a team-high six shots on net in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran winger has been locked in since returning from an undisclosed injury in early December. Hyman has found the back of the net in five of his last six games, collecting seven tallies in total during that stretch, and he's up to 10 goals and 15 points in 26 appearances this season. As long as Hyman remains on a line with Connor McDavid, who assisted on both his goals Monday, he'll be a fantasy asset.

Hyman scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Hyman has five goals over five games since he returned from an undisclosed injury. The Oilers have won all of those games -- getting Hyman's finishing touch on track after his absence appears to have done wonders for the team. He's now at eight goals, five helpers, 69 shots on net, 23 hits and a plus-5 rating over 25 appearances this season.

Hyman netted a power-play goal in Thursday's 7-1 win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Hyman missed five games between Nov. 21 and Dec. 3 due to an undisclosed injury, but the winger has been excellent since returning to the ice against the Blue Jackets on Dec. 5. The 32-year-old has four goals over four appearances since returning to game action, and two of those goals have come with the man advantage. He's up to seven goals and 12 points across 24 appearances this season.

Hyman scored a power-play goal on six shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Hyman received a threaded pass from Connor McDavid and made no mistake, putting the Oilers ahead 3-0 at 14:37 of the second period. This was Hyman's third goal over two contests since he returned from an undisclosed injury. The 32-year-old winger is up to six tallies, 11 points (four on the power play), 62 shots on net, 19 hits and a plus-3 rating over 22 appearances. He continues to play on the top line and top power-play unit, and his play since his return from injury is a good sign that his season is heading in the right direction.

Hyman scored twice on five shots and went plus-3 in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Hyman missed five games due to an undisclosed injury. He returned with his first multi-goal effort of the campaign, and his first goals at all since Nov. 6. The 32-year-old winger is up to five tallies, 10 points, 56 shots on net, 19 hits, 12 PIM and a plus-3 rating over 21 appearances. A repeat of his 54-goal, 77-point regular season from 2023-24 is unlikely, but Hyman should be able to provide high-end offense now that the Oilers look to be past their struggles from earlier in the campaign.

Hyman (undisclosed) will return to the lineup Thursday versus Columbus, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hyman will play on the top line alongside Connor McDavid and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and will also see first power-play time. Hyman has struggled this season with only three goals and five assists over 20 contests after striking for a career-high 54 goals in 2023-24. Despite his slow start, he's still worth starting in most fantasy formats.

Hyman (undisclosed) will not be an option for Tuesday's divisional showdown against the Golden Knights, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hyman will miss his fifth consecutive contest due to the injury. The right-shot winger was reported as being 5-8 days away from a return to the lineup Nov. 25, so he could be an option for Thursday's game against Columbus if his timeline hasn't changed. Kasperi Kapanen will likely continue to fill a top-six role in place of Hyman.

Hyman (undisclosed) remains 5-8 days away from returning to the lineup, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Based on Hyman's timeline, he figures to miss the Oilers' next two contests at a minimum. Considering the 32-year-old winger has already missed a pair of contests due to his undisclosed injury, he could be a candidate for injured reserve if the team decides it needs the extra roster spot. With Viktor Arvidsson (undisclosed) also sidelined, the Oilers will likely need to bring a forward up from AHL Bakersfield. Drake Caggiula was sent down Saturday, but that's likely for cap savings during a five-day gap between games for the Oilers.

Head coach Kris Knoblauch said Thursday that he expects Hyman (undisclosed) to miss 4-7 days, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hyman had already been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Wild, and he'll presumably miss Saturday's matchup against the Rangers as well. However, the Oilers have a sizable layoff before facing Utah on Nov. 29, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Hyman back on the ice late next week.
